Inspired by yakitori izakayas, Big Night is going to be putting seasonal British-ish produce on sticks and cooking it on our charcoal grill. The food will be simple, loud and fun, perfect to be eaten with a beer in hand and friends at your side.The menu will draw on a variety of influences rather than pretending to adhere to the concept of an authentic cuisine (this is not a Japanese restaurant). With respect to traditions, we will be cooking with integrity and creativity with ingredients and flavours that we love and are passionate about, in a way that is innovative rather than traditional, and most importantly, tasty tasty delicious. We’re talking lamb hearts, smoked beetroots, pickled mussels, seasonal kimchis, miso banoffee.We want everyone to feel at home here, a place for people to come together, the tables will be communal, you'll be asking your neighbour to pass the chilli oil and cheersing the whole table with a round of shots and sauerkraut. See you soon x

    It was a very enjoyable evening with delicious Valentine menu. There was plenty of food and the four of us all found something we particularly favoured. It was busy which made for a pleasant atmosphere and not too loud.

    Great choice of restaurant for an early Valentine’s Day meal. Food was delicious, really was so tasty and enjoyed every dish we ordered! Service was 10 out of 10 the waiters were so attentive and explained everything and had such good knowledge of the ingredients on the plate. The low score for the ambience was music was being played quite loudly but with the amount of people in the restaurant trying to have a conversation it was like the two was competing with each other. When the restaurant started to wind down a little bit, it was a lot more enjoyable atmosphere. That would be our only criticism it was our first and certainly won’t be our last visit to ROKA..: will definitely be back to try the blackened cod and the lamb cutlets!😍
